Arthrokinematic movement

Arthrokinematic movement refers to the movement of joints and the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue. Muscles controlling arthrokinematic movement are responsible for producing movement, stability, and control at the joint level. Here are some examples:

1. Shoulder joint:

    - Glenohumeral joint:

        - Rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis)

        - Deltoids

    - Scapulothoracic joint:

        - Serratus anterior

        - Trapezius

        - Levator scapulae

2. Elbow joint:

    - Humero-ulnar joint:

        - Biceps brachii

        - Triceps brachii

        - Brachialis

    - Radio-ulnar joint:

        - Supinator

        - Pronator teres

3. Wrist joint:

    - Radiocarpal joint:

        - Flexor carpi radialis

        - Flexor carpi ulnaris

        - Extensor carpi radialis brevis

        - Extensor carpi ulnaris

4. Hip joint:

    - Femoro-acetabular joint:

        - Gluteus maximus

        - Gluteus medius

        - Gluteus minimus

        - Iliopsoas

5. Knee joint:

    - Femoro-tibial joint:

        - Quadriceps

        - Hamstrings

        - Gracilis

        - Sartorius

6. Ankle joint:

    - Talocrural joint:

        - Tibialis anterior

        - Peroneus longus

        - Peroneus brevis

        - Gastrocnemius
